In my state/region. Western PA, eastern OH, WV panhandle. Ideally, I grow it myself. If not, I want to be buying directly from the farmer, whether at a farmers market near me or at their actual farm. I want to hear straight from them, all about the early warm and freeze, the bees disappearing, the humidity, rain, your dogs, mother-in-law, and huge blueberries. <3 It's all wonderful.
